The six-foot-ten, 230-pound power forward signed autographs, posed for pictures and answered media questions, but looked as though he was ready to collapse on one of the couches in the club and catch a nap.

At least until the mention of the help he's getting from O'Neal.

Specifically, it was a question about Bosh and O'Neal combining for 46 points and 20 rebounds in the Raptors 93-89 win over the L.A. Clippers on Saturday night that had the effect of two quickly downed cans of Redbull.

"Of course it's very nice (to have that help)," he said, his face finally becoming animated before laughing to himself.

I definitely thinks he jolts their team. My cuz and I were talking about that in the offseason when he joined them. I think our bigs are going to have a real match-up with them and it's going to be exciting to watch them play four times this season. He has to feel like a new man/player on that team. He is going to get help from everyone on that team. They are team that never gives up (especially when they play the Pistons).

"On Monday, the former Indiana Pacer did what looked to be the impossible: he shook the jet lag out of teammate Chris Bosh. Less than an hour after flying into Edmonton from Los Angeles..."

Don't you at least need to cross more than one time zone to legitimately get jet lagged? What weenies. They ought to try flying in coach with their knees at their chins, landing, jumping in a rental car, and then presenting to hostile clients an hour later.

Four hours in the luxury team plane and then having to sign some autographs. Tough life.
